 Will there ever be any alternative to libao?
 The main drawback is that the audio format is not transferred from the
 file format (e.g. 24bit 96kHz) to the audio device. You have to go into
 "Sound MIDI settings" to control this. It would be better if the file
 format would go unchanged to the audio device. Is it possible to enable
 this behavior in libao?
